Mr. Infantino said he was unhappy with the media’s portrayal of the issue.

On Tuesday he said:

I am dismayed and will not accept that my integrity is being doubted by certain areas of the media, especially given that UEFA has already disclosed in detail all facts regarding these contracts.

On Wednesday, Swiss police raided UEFA’s offices after he was named in the Panama Papers.

Other high profile names involved in the leak include Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson and his wife, who it was revealed owned a company in the British Virgin Islands that held bonds worth millions of dollars.

He resigned yesterday amid the fallout.

Also identified in the leaked files include the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Iraq’s former interim prime minister and the President of the Nigerian senate.
